Running back Kenneth Walker broke away from the Patriots defense long enough to score the Seahawks’ second field goal of the day.
Walker sprinted for 30 yards to the left side and 29 yards to his right a few plays later on the Seahawks’ third possession of Super Bowl LX’s second possession. However, the Patriots held off two of Walker’s losses due to an incompletion on Sam Darnold, and kicker Jason Myers ran upfield for his second field goal attempt of the game.

Myers’ 39-yard field goal put the Seahawks up 6-0 with 11:16 left in the first half.
Walker now has 71 yards on nine carries. The Patriots have not given up more than 128 yards to any running back in a game this season.
While the Seahawks extended their lead, they did lose safety Ty Okada to injury. Okada’s return is doubtful due to a calf injury.
